Otherwise I feel I did not use my time as well as I could have on some of these long podcasts. I'm a big highlighter/notes in the margin guy when it comes to books too, btw ;)
My wife bought the book about a year ago, we tried reading it, but didn’t read more than one page, didn’t know who the guy was, didn’t care. Now here I am, a year later, with serious financial challenges, and ironically this is the 6th interview I’ve watch with Ramit in the last week, these have opened my eyes like crazy. I just took the book from the shelf, and we start today. I was really missing out.
What a fab conversation! When I co-authored my first book, I wrote a guest post for Ramit's site a million years ago that got 100k views in the first 72 hours (which at the time was a big deal), thanks in part to Tim promoting the article. And I had read Tim's first book while developing my location independent career (except at the time that term wasn't yet coined - I was just a freak with a laptop traveling the world), and it shaped how I structured my online career and travel lifestyle. So it's great to see you both here, having candid and important conversations about things people don't generally like to talk about (like prenups). WOOT! Keep on keepin' on. :-)
Man, the stuff you guys talk about are so relatable and just pure gold. I'm not where you guys are at yet, but I appreciate the candor for sharing and just putting it all out there.
I'm happy for Tim at 2:13:35 when he says he learned how important it is to highlight what is going well. Coming from the ultimate "improver," that's a powerful realization.
This is so valuable! I never thought I’d listen a 2.5 hour interview with so much engagement. Did order Ramit’s book and can’t wait to start reading and act up on it. Thank you guys
"Did I just agree to that term that we've been negotiating for over a month? Yes I did. Like wow, my wife is that important to me?and I realised yes she is." - That is the most important point for those who still think marriage is worth a try.
Hi Tim and Ramit. Thank you both for this amazing episode! I think one of the best ways for a person to SHINE (revealing brilliance) is by having conversations with other like-minded brilliant people. Both of you have blown me away with your SHINE chemistry! Thank you again! John
Towards the end, Ramit says that "everything that is important in life, should be on the calendar". Very simple, but interesting. Meaning literally everything from evaluative relationship-talks with spouses/going to the gym/calling your mother etc. Before that, Tim had already said: "If it's not on the calendar, it's not true".
The recommendation at the two hour mark to try the aspirational things we fantasize about our whole lives is key...both driving a Ferrari and owning a second home were on my list until trying/doing them...the Ferrari was uncomfortable and the second home was a lot more work than fun and ended up eroding rather than enhancing my quality of life. Expensive lessons that have forced me to redefine what "the good life" really means to me. I am definitely a big fan of the "try it" method going forward.
I love listening to, and learning from, smart people's conversations. We bought Ramit's book on Friday (audio version - as I learn best while listening while doing something else; ie cleaning or driving) and have already called our credit card company and asked for a limit increase (they doubled what we already had!). We are definitely going to dive further into what our cash-back card has to offer. Thanks for all of the solid advice!
Easily one of my favorite episodes. The friendship/connection you guys have was very apparent, and I believe it allowed you guys to dive into some treacherous waters, (pre-nups, what you guys disagree about, etc.) which made it very compelling to watch.
Loved so many things about their discussion. These guys are both highly organized. They seem to love that. Loved how when money hits his account money goes in different directions. Also liked his advice on target date index funds. I would add do more small cap value index funds. I liked his input on prenups. Never thought about that when I got married, but could see why he was into it.
1:00:41 - Prenups - Why is this not a requirement for every couple in every country, arranged or love relationship!? (Watch up until 1:39:51 - much needed conversation on this topic)
Incredible to listen to Tim on different stages of life. Here he’s not onboard on marriage, but on a more recent episode of Modern Wisdom he’s mentioned “wife-hunting” and starting a family soon. I’d love to know what lead to that change
Not sure how many people became rich reading his book, but, he sure became rich selling a million book. Well done! People always buy anything that tells them how to become rich or lose weight easily.
I've been a fan of Tim for eight years, and a fan of Ramit for about four months. This interview is off-the-charts good. These two should be in a reality show together about sales, negotiation, and survival-of-the-fittest. Better than GoT. Almost as good as Billions... a bit more practical though ;)
Wow, I have always done that. Almost works like clockwork. Hundreds of dollars to be precise. Never paid a penny in interest to Credit Card company - Get cash back all the time. Never paid NSF fees. But NSF seldom happens though
i tried and the most they gave me was half. im in canada. i had to reach out to the duty manager. and she was like we don't usually do this at all. i was ah ok.
@@ruburtoe1 Just checked i subbed in 2015 and they email;s stopped coming in 2017, it must of stopped automatically due to the data protection laws and i never gave my consent to continue with the emails, there fucking bs anyway, no one reads that shit and its just polluting your inbox.
Fantastic content and tons of laughs! I just got hip to Ramit and I am excited to dive deeper in his work. I feel the "mic-in-hand" look is rather off-putting and it seems to add a bit more of a tense feel...that is almost two and a half hours of your guests holding the microphone in their hand. That is not comfortable. Much love as always Tim, love your work!
Just a reminder that Ramit wrote this book about how to get rich when he was 26. I cannot find any information on anything he did before that. So yeah, he basically got rich telling people how to get rich. It's a common strategy. You'll be better off listening to people who have skin in the game instead.
Good for you Tim for owning your own home...it is very anchoring and peace creating as long as you don't have huge overhead. Peace of mind is very important!! The rental market can get crazy and you are at the whim of your landlord!
I'm curios why the production team doesn't use the clip on mics for audio, the full size microphones seem cumbersome and a bit distracting for a natural conversation style interview.
The quality is much better on dynamic microphones, even when the room is not prepared for recording. And people speak close to the mic when its on their hands unlike condenser microphones with stands. All in all its easier and requires little post production work
The moment I finished the 1st edition of "I will teach you to be rich" I immediately opened an online account and used dollar cost averaging. Thanks Ramit!
Good point on pre-nup. No need to get defensive about it, it makes sense. It is very naive to think you can trust someone 100%, people change, things happen, life evolves, etc. One has to protect their security and future, nothing wrong with that
Enjoying every single minute of this interview. Amazing guys! Started to automate savings and investments for 3 months earlier, after the first time listening to Ramit. That's a lot after 11 years working with no savings and 0 financial management literacy. BTW, the mic is a bit off-putting but that's OK hahaha 😂
I love both Tim and Ramit!! They are some of the best people to follow for great advice on business, finances and life in general. Thanks for this amazing podcast!
Have always loved Tim's advice and ways to tackle many life issues (especially in areas where he is clearly winning). When it comes to the relationship-related advice, approaches, etc., I think they both miss the boat here - way too mechanical and process-oriented. You'll probably learn more from speaking with couples who have made their marriage work for many decades. I wouldn't turn to Silicon Valley millionaires for sound judgement in this area.

This is so valuable!
I never thought I’d listen a 2.5 hour interview with so much engagement.
Did order Ramit’s book and can’t wait to start reading and act up on it.
Thank you guys
Great job dude! It's an awesome book!
I’m glad you’re using a live video format for your interviews now Tim. I like this so much better.
This is one of the best videos I've ever watched in my life. Thanks Ramit for talking about prenups and Thanks Tim for asking tough questions.
Ramit has been everywhere the last few weeks! Bigger pockets, Matt d’avella, and now Tim Ferris!
New book incoming??
New book is out! It's also fantastic even if you read the first one the differences and updates are well worth it.
NDominator haven’t listened to the podcast yet, it is “Your Move” from 2017?

Tim, thanks for talking about relationships. I think sharing the process of how to discuss ways to improve is super helpful to many.
This is one of my fav Podcasts, you guys have good energy together! Great topics!
uh oh Tim Ferriss is only allowed to work another 1 hour 40 minutes this week
4 hr work week😁
cracked me up lmaooo
😂
lol
Hahahaha clever!!!😅😅😅
Just bought his book. My first financial book I’ve bought in my twenties.
Congratulations!
And what do you think about the book?
Is it worth reading?
I think this means u have no idea what u doing... hop off books / "inspirational 🍆". Then u might become aware of ur gifts, talents, path.

Tim - "Let's talk about convenience."
Ramit - "hhommmggawd."

one of the best episodes so far
Ramit has the best parent anecdotes
1:00:42 - 1:46:45 all about PRE-NUPS. Skip ahead if you're not interested (or have no money to lose anyway)
Thx

**Best interview ever! Love you 2 together. Bring Ramit for chats more often!**
I've had this book in my bedroom for 3 weeks and have been listening to interviews on and off the whole time... Now maybe I will actually open it!
My mother has also been known to walk out of a car negotiation deal over floor mats, so I feel a strong affinity with that.
Towards the end, Ramit says that "everything that is important in life, should be on the calendar".
Very simple, but interesting. Meaning literally everything from evaluative relationship-talks with spouses/going to the gym/calling your mother etc.

Value and perspective on this stuff. Thanks Tim and Ramit for the see saw of exploration in the $$ world. Prenup was a education I found fascinating.

This episode blew my mind
What a podcast. Absolutely amazing. Please keep it coming.
the collab I've been waiting for
Fantastic guest (my introduction) and great interview. Thank you!
I really enjoy the way you speak about relationships. Do more! (not just romantic, also friendships, employees/employers etc)
Tim, you continue to teach, mentor and inspire me. Thank you. I now also have the Ramit resource. Excellent!
I love this episode, and feel that if there was a theme, it would be 'value'. Which is relative and very self-aware. Thank you.
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome episode, complements the updated version of his book well
This is SO good!
Not sure how many people became rich reading his book, but, he sure became rich selling a million book. Well done!
People always buy anything that tells them how to become rich or lose weight easily.

It works if both people are a little bit process oriented. Otherwise I have to agree with you indeed
It would be easier though
YES! I am so looking forward to this! Ramit, my man! One of few who had a huge impact on my financial life!
Same for me, was my very first personal finance book!
